Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lakewood, CO.

Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
